1Overview
What is an embedded Web server?
A Web server provides an environment in which Web programs can run, in much the same way that an
operating system, such as Microsoft® Windows®, provides an environment in which programs can run
on your computer. A Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox,
can show output from a Web server.
An embedded Web server resides on a hardware product (such as a printer) in the firmware, rather than
as software that is loaded on a network server.
The advantage of an embedded Web server is that it provides an interface to the product that anyone
who has a network-connected computer and a standard Web browser can open and use. No special
software needs to be installed or configured.
With the HP Embedded Web Server (HP EWS), you can view product status information, change
settings, and manage the product at your computer.
NOTE: In this guide, the terms "product" and "device" are used interchangeably. When products or
devices are discussed in this guide, the information pertains to HP LaserJet printers or multifunction
peripherals (MFPs), or HP Digital Senders. For specific information about the features that your printer,
MFP, or digital sender supports, see the documentation that came with your product.
Features
You can use the HP EWS to view product and network status and to manage printing functions from
your computer, rather than at the product control panel. With the HP EWS, you can perform these tasks:
Upload firmware updates.
View control-panel messages and product-status information.
Determine the remaining life for all supplies and configure specific ordering information for supplies.
Gain access to the product's technical support page.
Gain access to specific support for recent product events.
Add up to five additional links or customize links to other Web sites (if a permanent storage device
is available).
View and change product configuration, such as tray configurations.
View and change network configuration.
View and print information pages, such as the Configuration page.
ENWW What is an embedded Web server? 1
Receive alerts about product events, such as when the product is low on supplies, through e-mail.
Set up four different destination lists for each user (administrators and service), with up to 20
recipients on each of the four lists (if a permanent storage device is available).
Select the language in which to display the HP EWS screens.
Print to an HP product without having to install the product print driver.
Conserve energy by scheduling the product sleep delay so that the product will go into sleep mode
after a period of time of not being used.
Schedule wakeup times for each day so that the product has finished initializing and calibrating by
the time it is to be used.
Send product configuration and supplies usage information periodically to your service provider.
Configure security settings for the product.
HP Web Jetadmin and the HP Embedded Web Server
HP Web Jetadmin is a Web-based system management tool that you can use with a Web browser. The
HP EWS and HP Web Jetadmin work together to meet all of your product-management needs. You can
use the software to install and manage networked products effectively. Network administrators can
manage networked products remotely, from practically anywhere.
The HP EWS provides a simple, easy-to-use solution for one-to-one product management in
environments that have a limited number of products. However, in environments that have several
products, you might want to use HP Web Jetadmin to manage groups of products. With HP Web
Jetadmin you can discover, manage, and configure multiple products simultaneously.
HP Web Jetadmin is available from HP online support (HP Web Jetadmin
www.hp.com/go/
webjetadmin).
System requirements
In order to use the HP EWS, you must have the following components:
A supported Web browser. Browsers that support embedded Web servers include (but are not
limited to) the following:
Konqueror 3.5 or later
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later
Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or later
Opera 9.0 or later
Safari 1.0 or later
A transmission control protocol/Internet protocol-based (TCP/IP-based) network connection.
An HP Jetdirect print server (embedded or enhanced input/output [EIO]) installed in the product.
Opening the HP Embedded Web Server
Use the following procedure to open the HP EWS.
2 Chapter 1 Overview ENWW
NOTE: You cannot view the HP EWS screens from outside of a firewall.
1. Open a supported Web browser.
2. In the Address or Go to field, type the IPv4 or IPv6 TCP/IP address, the host name, or the
configured host name that is assigned to the product. See the following examples.
IPv4 TCP/IP address: http://192.168.1.1
IPv6 TCP/IP address: http://[2001:0ba0:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1234]
Host name: npiXXXXXX
If you do not know the TCP/IP address for the product, you can find it by using the control-panel menu
or by printing a configuration page. For instructions, see the user guide that came with your product.
ENWW Opening the HP Embedded Web Server 3
Login and logoff
The HP EWS has screens that can be used to view product information and change configuration
options. The screens that appear, and the settings on them, vary according to how you gain access to
the HP EWS: as a general user, an information technology (IT) administrator, or a service provider.
These passwords can be customized by an IT administrator or a service provider.
In a password-protected HP EWS, only the Information tab is available to users who do not log in by
using the password. If no password has been set (which is the default), all of the tabs are visible.
If a password has been set, you must log on as an IT administrator or a service provider to gain access
to the protected HP EWS tabs (Settings and Networking).
NOTE: For information about changing passwords as an IT administrator, see Security
on page 35. If you are a service provider, see your product service guide.
4 Chapter 1 Overview ENWW
To log in as an administrator
Use the following procedure to log in to the HP EWS as an administrator.
1. After you open the EWS, click the Log In link in the upper-right corner of the screen.
The Enter Network Password dialog box appears, as shown in the following illustration. The
appearance of the login screen might vary, depending on your operating system and browser.
Figure 1-1 Enter Network Password dialog box
2. Type admin for the user name, type your password, and then click OK.
To log off as an administrator
Use the following procedure to log off.
1. Click the Log Off link.
2. To complete the logoff, close the browser.
CAUTION: If you do not close the browser, the connection to the product HP EWS continues to run
and could pose security risks.
ENWW Login and logoff 5
Navigating through the HP Embedded Web Server
To navigate through the HP EWS screens, click one of the tabs (such as Information or Settings), and
then click one of the menus on the navigation bar that is located on the left side of the screen.
The following illustration and table provide information about the HP EWS screens.
NOTE: The appearance of the HP EWS screens might differ from the illustrations in this user guide,
depending on the product features and the settings that your IT administrator has established.
